Enabling Uploader user rights in Chechen Wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Discussion: https://ce.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википеди:Форум/Техникин#.D0.97.D0.B0.D0.B3.D1.80.D1.83.D0.B6.D0.B0.D1.8E.D1.89.D0.B8.D0.B5.2FUploaders

We disided to enable Uploader rights in Chechen Wikipedia, like in Russian Wikipedia, because now only sysops can upload files and it is not comfortable for such a big wikipedia.

Important changes:

  1. Uploader rights MUST NOT be granted automatically.
  2. Only administrators will grant Uploader rights to trusted users (if they have minimum 50 mainspace edits and after a discussion).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Me or any other sysop will answer on them.

Dereckson moved this task from Backlog to Config - to process on the Wikimedia-Site-requests board.

I've added this page to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Non-free_content#Wikipedia. You can add there a brief summary of the policy.

I'm not sure I know how to do this...

You can describe in the last column in a nutshell the kind of media users can upload on ce.wikipedia.

This change has been deployed during our 2016-03-14 evening SWAT.

@Ilya2015 Could you confirm all works as expected?

Please note the 50 contributions limits will be something not technically enforced, but I imagine this can be socially handled without issue by the sysops.

We give reviewer rights for 100+ edits, so I suppose uploader aswell. Admins will look at the user's contribs before giving this right and will not give it without request.
